Mission Control Cannot Be Reached


Mission Control cannot be reached.

and unfortunately there has been a breach

out into the atmosphere goes my Mind

Hopefully it will not be hard to find

Mission Control cannot be reached

now our Captain's been impeached

Anarchy runs where Power once stood

Hopefully it's not for good

Mission Control cannot be reached

can you hear the lonesome Screech

the overwhelming awesome Power

ringing out from some bygone Tower

Mission Control cannot be reached

see how we've gotten Beached

Stranded out here, all Alone

but i guess that there's no place like Home

Mission Control cannot be reached

it's now not just a figure of speech

the Captain now has long been Dead

so we work on Autopilot instead

Mission Control cannot be reached
